The Importance of Aesthetic in Solatorobo

With a new installment in the Little Tail Bronx universe headed to the Nintendo Switch, there's no better time to take a look back at Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, the second title in the series. Released in the twilight days of the Nintendo DS, Solatorobo features arguably some of the best aesthetic design on the system, blending 3D character models with 2D backgrounds akin to early fifth generation role-playing games. While it shares a setting with its previous entry Tail Concerto, neither game requires playing the other as a prerequisite, and I would argue that Solatorobo is a fine entry point for anyone mildly curious in the series.
